Alexander McQueen Spring 2023 Is for the Likes of Timothée Chalamet – WWD – Pen 18

Sarah Burton looked to the skies and constellations, choosing phrases such as “science and structure” and “supernature, universe and night” to describe her latest men’s outing.

It may sound woo-woo, but Burton certainly delivered a heavenly lineup. With less strict tailoring than the previous collection, there was a sense of serenity in these pieces.

Suits were soft and romantic, with silver sequins and crystal astral embroidery shooting behind lapels, or long black coats. Other jackets came with leather harnesses studded with chunky crystals.

Some of the sparkly embroideries resembled starbursts or even military medals, while the jackets were wrapped gently around the body, with one lapel “hidden” inside the other.

Burton offsets all the blacks and sparkles with soft pinks and blues, and gentle brush stroke patterns on trenches and suits. Even sneakers were submerged in pastel, powdery shades.

These were the clothes of young Hollywood, and shining stars like Timothée Chalamet.

Hong Kong Designers Expands on How the City Shaped Their Identities – WWD – Pen 18

शंघाई – शुक्रवार को हांगकांग को पीपुल्स रिपब्लिक ऑफ चाइना को सौंपे जाने के 25 साल पूरे हो गए। 1997 में ब्रिटेन के साथ चीन द्वारा हस्ताक्षरित एक समझौते के तहत, पूर्व ब्रिटिश उपनिवेश अपनी पूंजीवादी व्यवस्था को 50 वर्षों तक बनाए रख सकता था।

“एक देश, दो प्रणाली” सिद्धांत के तहत, हांगकांग एक वैश्विक वित्तीय और व्यावसायिक केंद्र बना हुआ है। लेकिन शहर ने पिछले कुछ वर्षों में भी एक कठिन अनुभव किया है।

COVID-19 से तबाही का सामना करने वाले पहले शहरों में से एक के रूप में, लंबे समय तक महामारी के उपायों ने वित्तीय अभिजात वर्ग को दूर कर दिया और व्यापार को नुकसान पहुंचाया। इस साल की पहली तिमाही में हांगकांग की अर्थव्यवस्था में 4 फीसदी की गिरावट आई, जबकि बेरोजगारी दर बढ़कर 5 फीसदी हो गई।

सामाजिक अशांति की लहरों ने भी शहर में लोगों को अलग कर दिया है, कई लोग 2020 में हांगकांग के राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा कानून की शुरुआत के बाद कहीं और प्रवास कर रहे हैं। एम180 से अधिक लोगों को हिरासत में लिया गया है, और मीडिया टाइकून जिमी लाई और ऐप्पल डेली सहित 115 संदिग्धों पर मुकदमा चलाया गया है।

25 वीं वर्षगांठ ने चीनी राष्ट्रपति शी जिनपिंग की मुख्य भूमि चीन के बाहर पहली यात्रा को चिह्नित किया, क्योंकि 2020 में कोरोनोवायरस महामारी शुरू हुई थी। यह पांच वर्षों में उनकी पहली बार हांगकांग का दौरा भी है।

1 जुलाई, 2022 को हांगकांग में हांगकांग के नए मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी जॉन ली के शपथ ग्रहण समारोह के दौरान चीनी राष्ट्रपति शी जिनपिंग के भाषण का सीधा प्रसारण दिखाते हुए एक बच्चे को पकड़े हुए एक व्यक्ति स्क्रीन के सामने चलता है।

ट्रेन से पहुंचे शी ने वेस्ट कॉव्लून स्टेशन पर दर्शकों का अभिवादन करते हुए कहा, “तूफान के बाद, हांगकांग राख से ऊपर उठ गया है। यह जीवंत जीवन शक्ति दिखा रहा है। ”

एक समृद्ध संकर संस्कृति के साथ फैशन राजधानी के रूप में अब तक हांगकांग की स्थिति बरकरार है। शहर ने फिल्म निर्माता वोंग कार वाई, प्रसिद्ध गायक लेस्ली झांग और गीतकार और फैशन स्तंभकार वायमन वोंग जैसे फैशन आइकन को जन्म दिया। लेन क्रॉफर्ड, जॉयस और आईटी जैसे प्रसिद्ध मल्टीब्रांड बुटीक को जन्म देते हुए, इन सुपरस्टार्स का फैशन उद्योग से गहरा संबंध था।

युवा स्वदेशी डिजाइनरों की नजर में, हांगकांग की समृद्ध संस्कृति अभी भी शहर के सबसे बड़े आकर्षण के रूप में कार्य करती है।

मूल हांगकांग स्ट्रीटवियर फैशन ब्रांड ग्राउंडजेरो में से एक के डिजाइनर फिलिप चू ने कहा कि जो चीज उन्हें आकर्षित करती है वह है “हांगकांग का सांस्कृतिक बहुलवाद।”

“चीनी और पश्चिमी संस्कृतियां यहां मिलती हैं और हर किसी के जीवन में प्रवेश करती हैं, हम भी प्रभाव में हैं। मुझे पूरे शहर में दिलचस्प डिजाइन विचार दिखाई देते हैं,” चू ने कहा। चू के लिए, शहर का आकर्षण एक सुपर एलीटिस्ट फैशन सर्कल के द्वंद्ववाद और एक किरकिरा भूमिगत दृश्य के बीच तनाव में निहित है, जिसने पिछले संग्रह में उनके डिजाइन को प्रेरित किया।

लेकिन फियोना लाउ के लिए, Ffixxed Studios के पीछे डिजाइन जोड़ी का आधा हिस्सा, किराए के दबाव ने अधिक रचनात्मक उप-सांस्कृतिक तत्वों के उद्भव को कम कर दिया है। “बहुत कम भूमिगत संगीत स्थल, स्वतंत्र कला दीर्घाएँ और छोटे अवधारणा स्टोर हैं, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप व्यक्तिगत शैलियों में कम रचनात्मक अभिव्यक्ति होती है,” लाउ ने कहा।

डिज़ाइनर पुइलम लाउ के लिए, सरकार द्वारा जारी फ़ंड जैसे फ़ैशन इनक्यूबेशन प्रोग्राम और डिज़ाइन इनक्यूबेशन प्रोग्राम सबसे बड़ा आकर्षण थे जब उन्होंने 2017 में अपना वूमेनवियर ब्रांड जॉन लॉन्च किया।

“फिर भी, हांगकांग में एक फैशन ब्रांड करना थोड़ा चुनौतीपूर्ण है क्योंकि बाजार में अभी भी कई यूरोपीय ब्रांडों का वर्चस्व है,” लाउ ने कहा। वह एक परिपक्व फैशन उद्योग पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र की कमी को यहां एक ब्रांड शुरू करने के पतन के रूप में देखती हैं।

“उदाहरण के लिए, हांगकांग में पीआर फर्मों की कमी है जो डिजाइनर ब्रांडों का समर्थन करने के इच्छुक हैं। इसमें स्थानीय शोरूम, अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर मान्यता प्राप्त पत्रिकाओं और मीडिया, और स्वतंत्र चुनिंदा दुकानों जैसे प्लेटफार्मों का भी अभाव है, ”उसने कहा।

लेकिन द वर्ल्ड इज़ योर ऑयस्टर के कोफ़ाउंडर केल्विन चैन के लिए, 2014 में स्थापित एक मेन्सवियर लेबल, हांगकांग के स्थानीय बाजार को विकसित करना उनके लिए भावनात्मक रूप से अभी भी महत्वपूर्ण है। चान ने कहा, “हमारे शहर में हमारे डिजाइनों की बिक्री होना बहुत अच्छा है।”

“हाल के वर्षों में, बाजार का ध्यान विविधता की ओर बढ़ रहा है, हम अधिक स्थानीय ग्राहकों को स्थानीय ब्रांडों और प्लेटफार्मों का समर्थन करते हुए देखते हैं,” डेरेक चेंग, हांगकांग स्थित लिंग-समावेशी लेबल, Ponder.er के एक आधे ने कहा। ब्रांड ने हाल ही में यू प्राइज में शीर्ष पुरस्कार हासिल किया, जिसमें 1 मिलियन रॅन्मिन्बी नकद पुरस्कार, साथ ही ली-निंग, पेरिस में एक शोरूम स्लॉट, हैरोड्स में खुदरा बिक्री, और ओटीबी से मेंटरशिप के साथ सहयोग का अवसर मिला।

“लेकिन हांगकांग लॉकडाउन के उपायों में ढील के बाद, मुझे नहीं लगता कि फैशन रिटेल इतनी जल्दी वापस आ जाएगा। यह गैर-जरूरी है, ”पर्सी लाउ ने कहा, जिन्होंने 2013 में अपना नामांकित आईवियर ब्रांड लॉन्च किया था।

अपने नाम के ब्रांड के डिजाइनर करमुएल यंग को एक मुक्त बंदरगाह शहर में स्थित होने का फायदा दिखता है। “हम विभिन्न वैश्विक सामग्रियों को आसानी से प्राप्त कर सकते हैं,” यंग ने कहा। “इस बीच, मुख्य भूमि चीन महान पेशेवर विनिर्माण और उत्पादन संसाधन प्रदान करता है।”

विल्सनकाकी डिजाइनर विल्सन यिप ने भी दक्षिणी मुख्य भूमि चीन में निर्माताओं के साथ काम करना आसान पाया, “हम हांगकांग में नमूने और छोटे उत्पादन करते हैं,” यिप ने कहा। “हालांकि, दक्षिण चीन में हमारे उत्पादन भागीदार हमारे अनुरोधों का तुरंत जवाब दे सकते हैं जब हमारी मांग स्थानीय क्षमता से अधिक हो जाती है।”

यंग हांगकांग को वैश्विक बाजार में प्रवेश करने के लिए एक उपयोगी लॉन्चपैड के रूप में देखता है। वसंत 2023 के संग्रह से शुरू होकर, उन्होंने पेरिस मेन्स फैशन वीक के दौरान अपने ब्रांड का प्रदर्शन करना शुरू किया।

कुछ डिजाइनरों ने डिजाइन प्रेरणा के लिए हांगकांग सौंदर्यशास्त्र को सोने की खान भी पाया। 90 के दशक की पुरानी यादों से प्रेरित, सौंदर्य ने हाल के वर्षों में मुख्य भूमि चीन के बाजार में गति प्राप्त की है। हैशटैग “हांगकांग एस्थेटिक्स” ने वीबो पर 360 मिलियन से अधिक क्लिक प्राप्त किए। “यह एक रूपक है जो चीनी और पश्चिमी शैलियों के संयोजन का अच्छी तरह से वर्णन करता है,” चेंग ने कहा।

हाल के वर्षों में कई डिजाइनरों ने उत्पादन सुविधाओं और बढ़ते बाजार के करीब होने के लिए अपने स्टूडियो को मुख्य भूमि चीन में स्थानांतरित कर दिया है। Ffixxed Studios, Groundzero, और John जैसे ब्रांडों के लिए शंघाई एक स्पष्ट पसंद बन गया। लेकिन डिजाइनर हांगकांग के भविष्य को लेकर आशान्वित हैं।

“बहुत सारे महत्वपूर्ण ऐतिहासिक क्षणों की तरह, यह [the anniversary] अलग-अलग कारणों से अलग-अलग लोगों के लिए अलग-अलग चीजों का मतलब है, ”फिक्स्ड स्टूडियोज लाउ ने कहा। “बहुत कुछ बदल गया है, लेकिन आपके दृष्टिकोण के आधार पर बहुत कुछ वही रहा है। हम भविष्य के प्रति सकारात्मक और खुले विचारों वाले रहना पसंद करते हैं।”

“जब आप बड़े होते हैं तो यहां होने वाले सभी परिवर्तनों को देखकर आपको एक जटिल एहसास होता है। हालांकि, हम इस बात की सराहना कर सकते हैं कि हांगकांग के लोग प्रगति के लिए लगातार प्रयास कर रहे हैं,” चेंग ने कहा।

“लंबे समय में, हैंडओवर एक अच्छी बात है,” पर्सी लाउ ने कहा। “हांगकांग की वापसी से पहले, अपनेपन की भावना नाजुक थी, लेकिन नई प्रणाली की स्थापना करना कुछ आसान नहीं है। आखिरकार, हम 100 से अधिक वर्षों तक ब्रिटेन के शासन के अधीन थे।”

और विल्सनकाकी के यिप के लिए, एक विस्तारित सप्ताहांत के लिए एक अतिरिक्त छुट्टी भी आनंद लेने के लिए कुछ है।

1 जुलाई, 2022 को हांगकांग में पूर्व ब्रिटिश उपनिवेश की चीनी शासन में वापसी की 25 वीं वर्षगांठ को चिह्नित करने के लिए गोल्डन बौहिनिया स्क्वायर में ध्वजारोहण समारोह आयोजित किया जाता है।

kyrgios: Kyrgios serves up masterclass to blow away Krajinovic

Australian Nick Kyrgios delivered a devastating serving masterclass at Wimbledon as he beat Serbia’s Filip Krajinovic 6-2 6-3 6-1 in 85 minutes on Thursday without breaking a sweat in the third round.

There were no umpire complaints or run-ins with fans, a feature of their first-round match – Kyrgios barely had time – as he knocked down 24 aces with only one double fault overall. He took the first set without losing a single point before several fans sat down.

Krajinovic, who finished 31st after reaching the Queen’s Club final earlier this month, but seen as a dangerous swimmer on the grass, could not resist the barrage as Kyrgios did not give up from start to finish.

Overall he dropped just nine points on serve and easily combined power and finesse to hit 50 winners – in contrast to his five-set struggle to beat British wild card Paul Jubb in the first round.

“I think it was too big to cross the line in the first round,” Kyrgios said. “I’ve been playing some really good tennis over the past month so I was really surprised by the way I played. But I was in my zone today, great body language.

“It’s nice to remind everyone that I’m great,” he said while laughing at fans on the number two court.

“I’ve been preparing for this tournament, it’s been going around a lot on my calendar for a whole year and I’m very excited to be here again. It’s really a tournament that I think is my best time to win a Grand Slam. Good chance, but I’ll take it match-by-match.

“Obviously I had an incredibly difficult draw, but today I couldn’t play better and now I can recover and be ready.”

Kyrgios, who has reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals only once on his debut in 2014, will next face fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the next round, with a possible semi-final against Rafael Nadal on the distant horizon.

To aid in his preparations, he withdrew from the doubles after the win on Thursday. “I am a singles player and I want to give myself my best chance,” he said.
